Back Pain Relief Q & A

How Can Back Pain Affect Your Quality of Life?

Back pain is an all too common complaint in this day and age. Both men and women are susceptible to it. It can be lower, middle, or upper back pain, and it can have a variety of causes. It can be mild to severe, and act up only once in a while or be constant. It can make it so you only have to rest your back once in a while, or can be so disabling you can no longer do your normal activities without agony or assistance from someone else. Whatever the reason for your back pain, and regardless of how mild or severe it is, you want it gone. Dr. Thaler can help you achieve this goal.

Does Back Pain Respond to Chiropractic Treatment?

Back pain responds very well to chiropractic treatment. In fact, it is probably the most common reason that people use to seek chiropractic treatment. If you ask the average person on the street what chiropractic treats, most will say back pain, as the many other wonderful things chiropractic can do are not as well known. But back pain treatment is the gold standard treatment among chiropractors, and Dr. Thaler is no different. He is a back pain expert.

What are the Most Common Causes of Back Pain?

Most back pain is caused by vertebrae that are out of alignment. More severe back pain may be caused by those misaligned vertebrae pinching nerves or making muscles tense up around them to protect them in their misalignment. It is easy for a misaligned vertebrae to get injured, and muscles tense up around them as a natural body response to provide a protective barrier and keep them safe. Unfortunately, this muscle tension can cause or add to the pain of the misaligned vertebrae. Chiropractic adjustments will gradually move the vertebrae back into their correct positions, release pinched nerves and allow them to heal, and sooth and relax tense muscles. After a series of treatments, which will vary by person according to their individual situations, the back pain will eventually disappear, the back will strengthen, and new back pain will be less likely to occur. Talk to Dr. Thaler about your situation and see the wonderful things he can do for you.
